When do you need cash in the Czech Republic?
Bank cards are widely accepted in the Czech Republic, but it is still useful to have CZK in cash during your trip.
This is particularly the case for purchases in some small businesses, such as traditional bakeries, local grocery shops, or cafés outside tourist areas. Having CZK in cash is also useful for small purchases.
Outside major cities or tourist areas, it is always practical to have cash to be able to pay for your purchases in any situation. It is also common to leave a small tip in bars, cafés, and pubs, which is generally done in cash.
In general, managing your travel budget in cash is recommended to avoid unnecessary spending. This practice helps you maintain control over your budget, and exchanging your euros for CZK before departure is a good habit to ensure the best exchange rates.
